MAMMUT
Buffer Storage & Automation for Thick Sheets
Features & Advantages
High Productivity
The automatic and fast exchange of shuttle tables on the CNC machines reduces unproductive waiting time on the systems to a minimum. The overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) increases significantly.
Effective staff deployment
Thanks to the buffering of work orders, the cycle for work preparation and post-processing no longer depends on the machine. New sheets can be placed or sorted in a more controlled and concentrated manner.
Modular expandability
The modular MAMMUT system can also be expanded at a later stage, e.g. by adding further storage blocks or extending the automation line to integrate additional CNC machines.
Efficient production planning
CNC production orders can be planned and prepared for the long term. The CNC machines automatically pull the next job from the buffer store.
Manufacturer-independent integration
All Remmert systems are open for the integration of different CNC machine manufacturers and IT systems. A change of machine type is also possible without any problems.
MAMMUT - Modules & Options
Racking System
The shuttle tables are inserted and stored in the shelving system by the storage and retrieval unit. The number of storage locations per rack can be individually designed depending on the static permissibility. Several racks can be placed next to each other or on both sides of the stacker crane.
Storage & Retrieval Machine
The shuttle tables are inserted and stored in the rack by the storage and retrieval machine. The number of storage locations per shelf can be customized depending on the static requirements. Multiple racks can be placed side by side or on either side of the SRM.
System Integration
One of Remmert's strengths is system integration with various machine manufacturers. This concerns both the mechanical coordination between the CNC machine and the Mammut system as well as IT interfaces to specific protocols of the machine manufacturers. This allows the storage/handling system and cutting machine to interact as a single unit.
Goods Stations
The material stations are used to load and unload material onto and from the shuttle tables. Loading and unloading processes are triggered directly via terminals. In principle, the stations can be designed very individually according to customer requirements.
WMS Warehouse Management System
All material stocks in the warehouse are clearly managed in the Remmert WMS. The system can be managed from central control centers via interfaces to the ERP and MES.
Protective Equipment
The entire system is secured with prescribed safety equipment such as safety fences and gates and laser light barriers to ensure safe operation. Sensors on the stacker crane monitor smooth operation. Any error messages are displayed via the operating terminal.
